Security in the contemporary world. The essence of the phenomenon and its determinants (Personal reflections)

Abstract

The issue of security explored in the article is undoubtedly one of the most fundamental problems of the modern world. This article considers the issue of broadly understood national and international security, which in the second decade of the 21st century is an issue considered on three integrally linked planes: global, regional and local. Political, economic and ecological conditions of security are integrally connected with psychological elements, considered both at the level of “homo sapiens”, as well as at the level of the world’s political, economic and military elites. They create a framework for shaping national and international security in the contemporary world.
